I had a automatic reboot of all VMs and the hypervisor because of a kernel update at night. Nextcloud decided to start in maintenance mode and Jellyfin refused to start because the cache folder didn't have enough space left. Authentik also complained about outdated provider configuration...
Need to investigate the Nextcloud and Authentic issue during weekend 🤗
I havent messed much with my servers in 2 years. I think that means I'll hit my RIO in another 5 :)
I haven't messed with my raspberry pi in maybe a month... And I think one of my backups got corrupted because I receive an email saying that it failed along with tons of errors every night. Hmm, maybe I should get to that soon...
Gotta be honest, my home lab chugs along quite happily.
Atomic fedora makes it hard to break, and then all the services are containerized and managed by configuration and just files only.
When there’s an update to a service: just pull service. Firewall needs configuring: just firewall-reset && just firewall-enable.
The only flaky thing is a vpn that I run through glutan and I’m thinking of dumping that provider.
Time to distro-hop!
Started running unmanic on my plex library to save hard drive space since apparently the powers that be don’t want us to even own hard drives anymore. So far it’s going great, it’ll probably take weeks since I don’t have a gpu hooked up to it
Time to expand.
Honestly, that would be living the dream... I have too many other things I want to do!
